Amund Ulvestads Kopier
Amund Ulvestads Kopier er en multimedial forestilling der en rekke musikalske og visuelle elementer danner én helhetlig opplevelse.
Verkene som inngår i forestillingen spenner vidt i form og uttrykk, men er tematisk sammenknyttet: Alle synliggjør forvrengningen som ligger skjult i enhver form for medieformidling og -konsum. Ved å transformere og forstyrre hverdagslige medieuttrykk, fremhever Ulvestad bildenes og lydopptakenes dobbeltrolle som sannhet og imitasjon.
Perkusjonist Tomas Järmyr og sanger Sunniva Unsgård er medvirkende under konserten. (Sistnevnte in absentia)

Joakim Blattmann
Joakim Blattmanns work with sound spans from sculptural installations, pure sound works, composition, to concerts. He works with sound as a physical and moving material, and is fascinated by its physical yet transient properties. Acoustic ecology, field recordings and objects inherent acoustic properties are recurrent themes. Blattmann holds a Masters degree from the Trondheim Academy of Fine Art, NO. At Spaces Speak #2 he improvised around the composition Bird Helmet. A recording of the performance was later released on Dinzu Artefacts.
